TELEPHONE SCAMS STILL OCCURING

While the pandemic has brought out the best in most, it has unfortunately brought out the worst in some in the form of COVID-19-related scams. The Federal Trade Commission has received thousands of complaints regarding COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic. Our members are targeted by other types of scams, however, we have not yet heard of any COVID-19 scams being directed at our members. Even so, you should be aware of the types of scams currently in use to ensure you do not fall victim to one.
